I’ve already followed some guidelines by disabling caching, turning off Protected Mode at startup and disabling JavaScript, but I haven’t noticed any improvements. What else could I look at?  i attached an empty template of a tipical pdf that we editwhat i've noticed is that become very slowly each time adobe scan the pdf for searching text when i'm scrolling the documentsbest regards

Regarding Acrobat Professional, the Compare Files function, I think it is an important function. However, some results appear out of order among the compared files. I would like to ask Adobe technicians if there are any improvements planned for this function? Or will we have to purchase other products (from third parties, such as InformIT) to compare files and/or content?

We are looking to audit and adapt a PDF for one of our public sector clients to make it accessible, based on the new UK law that requires public sectors to meet WCAG 2.1 guidelines. I noticed on your website the PDF accessibility tool only goes to WCAG 2.0 which is the previous version. When looking into the differences between these versions, it appears the updates to 2.1 could be relevant to websites only, and not applicable to PDF's - are we right in thinking that? Can you confirm your accessibility guidelines and checker will meet the standards that are to be in place from 23 September 2020? Any help would be much appreciated.

The new version of Acrobat is awful. The UI has become completly confusing to use. Nothing is where it was. Whoever thought this was a positive change is not customer centered. Where is the File tab? Doing something as simple as Save As is hard to find. I dislike the rearrangement and reconfiguration of the tool bars. It is not a customer friendly change and I am searching for other alternatives. You product has been deminished greatly. I will be canceling my subscribtion.  

I’ve been using it extensively this year, and it’s clear Adobe has invested heavily in streamlining the UI, enhancing performance, and integrating AI-powered tools. Tasks like editing, signing, converting, and organizing PDFs feel much faster and more intuitive than before.The redesigned interface in modern Acrobat is cleaner and far more user-friendly, especially for professionals handling high volumes of documents. Features like cloud sync, smart form detection, and OCR are not only more reliable, but also noticeably quicker.That said, with so many new competitors offering lightweight PDF solutions  some even free  I’m curious to hear from others:Is the modern Acrobat still your go-to in 2025, or have you made the switch to another tool?Let’s open this up for discussion  I’d love to know what’s working for everyone.

when i press shift for adding comment for straight line, i could not finsih the next point and it doesnt allow me to save, exit. Only close the entire software  When i edit the image, all the image got brusted and the comment ran to other direction when try to flattener preview ( previously was in th epreflight), it suddently cut the half of the second page. and th AI is not AI level, cant solve nor answer any probelmit is worse then a read.

Hello Everyone, I am currently using a very old version of Acrobat Pro (old as in Windows 98 vintage) with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Yes, it still works, though it does crash once in a while. I am contemplating getting a more modern version of PDF software in anticipation of migrating to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit in the near future. I know that you must now purchase a subscription to Acrobat Pro rather than getting the software with a perpetual license, and you must periodically connect to the internet for Adobe to re-verify the validity of your subscription. I frequently handle legal and medical documents that need to be kept confidential, I would like to know if Adobe has access to my documents while I am connected to the internet and working on those documents? They necessarily are unencrypted during creation and revision/editing so if Adobe can access them, I cannot use the Adobe software. How can I be assured that the confidentiality of my files is maintained with soft

This seems to have already been done for Reader and all of the other Creative Cloud apps, but the Acrobat (Pro) app (setup.app) still requires Rosetta.  I do not want to install or have Rosetta running on my Mac and I would love to see the installer for Acrobat (Pro) fixed so that Rosetta is not required to install. Come on Adobe, you did it for all the other apps, why not this one?

Buonasera, ho notato che mi sono stati addebitati sulla mia carta di credito 36,59€ per l’attivazione di un abbonamento da parte di Adobe System Softare nonostante io lo avessi già da tempo disinstallato, qualcuno sa spiegarmi il motivo? Grazie in anticipo 

Hi, it's my first time using adobe acrobat and the pdf I created I had to delete a section that wasn't needed, but I have this white empty space where the text used to be, how do delete that extra space or shift the information to the top to make it look normal? It's also like that for the other pages even though I didn't delete anything from those pages, there's a lot of empty white space and I need to figure out how to get rid of it.

It seems that since we have patched users with 26.001.21745, now when they try to print a PDF from any location to our papercut server, they are all getting the same Adobe has failed to print this document’ error box. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am using Acrobat DC. I have a client who only has Reader. She is requesting that I send her a fillable PDF that is locked. She needs to be able to unlock the PDF herself, edit the fillable fields, re-lock it, and send it out to her clients.I tried "restrict editing", and it does not stop the ability to edit the fillable fields.I tried creating a password protection, but when I unlock the document it only allows me to make changes under the Edit tool, not the fillable fields. Also it does not give me an option to use the password to use the Prepare Form tool. It just says that I cannot use Prepare Form because of the security settings.I also thought of locking each field in the properties window, but then she would not be able to unlock or edit them.I hope this makes sense. TIA for your help!

We believe we've identified a regression in the Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension introduced in the recent 26.7.x releases. Our web application generates PDF reports in response to an authenticated HTTP POST. The server returns the PDF successfully. However, when the Adobe extension is enabled, immediately after the successful POST, the browser performs an unexpected GET request to the same URL. This GET fails because the endpoint is POST-only. When the Adobe extension is disabled, the unexpected GET does not occur, and the application functions normally. We have HAR files and server logs showing both cases. (extension enabled and extension disabled) We also noted a related report regarding version 26.7.2.0 and authenticated PDFs in the community.Can engineers investigate this. We are currently telling users of our app to turn off the extension (and then it works fine) Note: It has been working fine for the last 6 years with the Adobe Extension. This is a new behavor for an existing solut

I have a relatively quick computer, i7 64gb ram, and OMG just opening Acrobat, or any sized documents takes forever… :30 seconds minimum. 6-12 months ago they opened instantly. This is painful. I literally forget what I was looking for in reports by the time these documents open up. I uninstalled and reinstalled (Continuous Release 2026 001 21431). Dell XPS 9510 64gb, 2x1TB SSDs, Windows 11 Pro Insider Program (which I predict will be said to be the problem) all updated. I ran the repair and it took at least 15 minutes? The ‘Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat’ ‘Gathering Required Information’ took :30 minutes! It seems, that over the last year, ever since Acrobat started heavily integrating AI into Acrobat, performance nosedived. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ve disabled any AI functions (preferences/Generative AI - unchecked all) largely because I have been having this slowness issue… which got much worse after reinstalling this time around.Is there an older version (2024 would b

How do I change the properties of a shape (in this case, a rectangle) that I am drawing onto a .pdf in Acrobat? I selected the shape and right clicked, but there is no “Properties” option, only “Document Properties”. P.S. How do I resize an image I’ve uploaded into a question on the Adobe forums? It used to be easy to do so, but now I can’t figure it out. The only option I seem to be able to do is “add a caption”. 

There's a new update, 21779,https://ardownload2.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/2600121779/AcrobatDCx64Upd2600121779.mspDoes anyone know why this doesn't appear on the Acrobat Updates page or the Acrobat Release Notes page?

Adobe Reader will not save using “save as” to a long path in Windows 11 using the Windows 11 File Manager.  You have to click “cancel” and then start the save process again and then the save will work.

I'm hoping to get my employers to allow use of the Document Cloud to perform shared reviews, instead of having to collate comments from multiple PDFs exchanged via email.   I have a subscription to both the Creative Cloud and to FrameMaker, which includes Acrobat DC Pro and Document Cloud. Acrobat DC Pro allows me to create a shared review on the Document Cloud.   Do my reviewers need a subscription to Acrobat DC Pro and to the Document Cloud, or can they use the free Acrobat Reader DC to access the PDF on the Document Cloud and provide comments? My understanding is that as long as I send them the link to the document on the Document Cloud, they should be able to use just the free Acrobat Reader to provide commentary. From the various FAQs, this seems to be the case, but it is not explicitly stated. I want to be certain it is the case before suggesting it to management.   [As a sidenote, our documents are stored on Box, which is also a cloud service. I think I've determi

Subject: Feedback on File Hover Behavior in Adobe Acrobat Dear Adobe Team,I am sharing feedback regarding a recurring usability issue in Adobe Acrobat that impacts workflow efficiency and is a constant source of aggravation. Currently, when a file is in a hover state (for example, during drag-and-drop or when the mouse is positioned over a file), Acrobat disables the Save and Open options. This behavior often prevents me and other network users who can't see the current state from opening or saving files, even though the file is not actively in use by anyone else. This restriction feels overly cautious and creates unnecessary friction, especially in collaborative environments or when working with local files. The hover state typically does not indicate an actual lock, so blocking these actions seems counterintuitive and is not used in your other programs. Why this matters:It interrupts productivity and forces users to take extra steps (clicking away or waiting) befo

Hello,We maintain a JSF/PrimeFaces web application that generates PDF reports (via JasperReports) and opens them in a new browser tab for automatic printing.Since a recent update of the Adobe Acrobat: PDF edit, convert, sign tools extension (version 26.7.2.4), some of our users are unable to view or print these PDFs: the new tab opens blank/white and no print dialog appears.We confirmed the extension is the cause through testing: disabling the "Online PDFs" option (Extension options → General → "Open PDFs in Acrobat from your browser" → uncheck "Online PDFs") immediately resolves the issue on affected machines, restoring Chrome's native PDF viewer and correct behavior.Environment:Chrome version: 151.0.7922.109 Adobe Acrobat extension version: 26.7.2.4 OS: Windows 10/11Could you please look into why enabling "Online PDFs" causes blank rendering and broken auto-print for web-delivered PDFs, and confirm whether this is a known regression? We suspect other web applications relying on simil

My company uses a site that converts ENV files to PDFs and this has worked for 10 years. After the latest 2 chrome extension update for Adobe, it is now giving a 403 access denied message. Extension version 26.5.2 worked without having to change anything. Version 26.7.x.x and 26.8.1.2 are causing issues. We have to now turn off the “allow access to file URLs” and turn off the “Online PDFs” in the Open PDFs in Acrobat from your browser section of Adobe Acrobat Preferences to get this function to work. What has changed and can we get back to where we don’t have to manually change settings for something that worked fine up until last week.

Oh well, Ive attempted several fixes Per Adobe Support. 1st Attempt we cleared out windows credential manager of adobe credentials. It reoccured about 2 weeks later. 2nd Support Attempt; Running Adobe Acrobat as Administrator - We selected Help > Repair Installation. The issue reoccured 1 day laterI am curious if others are experencing this as a reoccuring issue. I have now contacted support for the 3rd time and awaiting a response.  Adobe Version: 26.001.21691Picture example attached This has caused significant operational delay.

Hi everyone,I am trying to streamline the procurement and bidding workflow for our business. We frequently deal with multiple contractors and vendors for various construction and IT projects. To make the process more efficient, I want to create a standardized, fillable PDF bidding form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contractors can easily fill out and return. Could anyone guide me on the best practices for this? Specifically, I am looking for tips on:1. How to add dynamic calculation fields (e.g., automatically calculating total costs from itemized rows).2. The best way to lock certain sections of the PDF so that vendors cannot alter the terms or field labels.3. Setting up secure digital signature fields for official compliance.If anyone has a pre-made template or a step by step workflow guide for procurement forms, that would be incredibly helpful!Thank you in advance for your support.

I have acrobat pro on a new computer.  I need to change the default settings to have "collate" checked.  I know I can do this manually every time but thats a pain to remember.  I searched the internet and cannot find an answer.  Adobes website says collation is the default setting but that is not the case.  Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
